The other day, at a mandatory Destin 30A Mom Blog meeting I was asked what my favorite family tradition is. It took a second to rifle through the traditions that make up our family tapestry and a few came to mind. I of course love our family birthday idea that occurs on October 22 of […]
Have you ever looked at your closet and just wanted to just completely start fresh? Get just the basics and build from there? My best friend Jackie asked me how much I thought it would cost to get a full new wardrobe. Basics, but good quality and enough to mix and match for at least […]
Is anyone else completely hungover from all that was the holiday weekend? I am so tired this Tuesday-that-feels-like-a-Monday that I need an IV for coffee. Last night, coyotes were in the woods behind our house. That part isn’t remarkable or unusual in anyway, but the fact that Kipling, our 5 month old puppy, barked and […]

I know I’ve talked about the fact that I’m a little (read a lot) heavier this summer than I was previously. I deemed 2020 the year of consistency, and my naiveté makes me laugh and laugh and then cry a little. It’s really hard to be consistent in the face of a national/worldwide pandemic. That’s […]
I hope and pray you now have that fabulous Salt ‘n Pepa song playing in your head. You’re welcome.

I’ve always wanted to be a mutant. Growing up in the late 80s to early 90s every kid loved watching X-Men on Saturday morning cartoons. (Storm was the biggest badass and don’t even try to change my mind.) I always equated mutants with some super human ability. Little did I know that at the age […]
Hey guys, long time no blog. What better time to start writing again than when I’m stuck at home. Right? Right. I don’t know about you but I’ve got my cornteen fashion looks on lock. On the real though, I’ve been trying to get dressed every other day. Not because I’ve got some place to […]
I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions. Of course, I used to and then a week into the new year I would have a slip or maybe even a stumble and because I wasn’t perfect I would just quit. I stopped setting myself up for inevitable failure and started choosing a word for the year. This […]
I don’t know about you but I couldn’t do this life without my girls. I’m currently out of town for work and know that my babes are perfectly contained at home thanks to my husband who only gets a little annoyed when my buying trips are back to back, my amazing baby sitter that loves […]
